Hello Thomas,

strFileName contains a complete file name which I delete before I call RemoveDir. So the directory is empty. sTest contains then the following String:

F:\\ENTWICK\\Roland\\1Projekte\\DDV_TEST\\incoming\\949\\dd949_01_2004003.20031230_212909

I think so too.

This seems to be the question, how determine it? I am able to remove the dir using the explorer, so I think I have all rights. Thats the reason I postet it, why is RemoveDir not able to delete it.
By the way the error code of GetLastError is 0x00000005.
